Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

Proverbs 2
¹¹ Discretion will preserve you; Understanding will keep you,
¹² To deliver you from the way of evil, From the man who speaks perverse things,
¹³ From those who leave the paths of uprightness To walk in the ways of darkness;
¹⁴ Who rejoice in doing evil, And delight in the perversity of the wicked;
¹⁵ Whose ways are crooked, And who are devious in their paths;
¹⁶ To deliver you from the immoral woman, From the seductress who flatters with her words,
¹⁷ Who forsakes the companion of her youth, And forgets the covenant of her God.
¹⁸ For her house leads down to death, And her paths to the dead;
¹⁹ None who go to her return, Nor do they regain the paths of life--
²⁰ So you may walk in the way of goodness, And keep to the paths of righteousness.
²¹ For the upright will dwell in the land, And the blameless will remain in it;
